Choice AU 1878-CC Half Eagle

1878-CC $5 AU55 PCGS. CAC. All Carson City five dollar issues from the 1870s are rare, and the 1878-CC is no exception. Gold bullion depositors preferred payment in double eagles, which were more convenient for accounting purposes. An absence of Old West collectors caused most survivors to remain in circulation for many years. Just one piece has been certified Mint State, which makes an AU example the finest that most collectors can hope to own. The present Choice AU piece has too much friction on the wingtips and eyebrow to command a higher grade, but luster brightens the borders and major devices. No marks are consequential. Population: 5 in 55, 5 finer (2/10).(Registry values: P3)
